The Role of Pseudocereals in Celiac Disease: Reducing Nutritional Deficiencies to Improve Well-Being and Health by Carolina Caeiro, Caroline Pragosa, Marisa Carreira Cruz, Cidália Daniela Pereira, Sónia Gonçalves Pereira

“…Celiac disease or gluten-dependent enteropathy is a chronic autoimmune pathology triggered by dietary gluten in genetic predisposed individuals, mediated by transglutaminase 2 IgA autoantibodies and associated with a deteriorating immune and inflammatory response. This leads to intestinal villous atrophy, impairing the intestinal mucosa structure and function of secretion, digestion, and absorption. …”

Ingested house dust mite favors sensitization to egg white in mice independently of its proteinase activity by Sara Benedé, Leticia Pérez-Rodríguez, David Menchén-Martínez, Elena Molina, Rosina López-Fandiño

“…Whereas HDM increased intestinal expression of genes encoding tight junction proteins and Th2-inducing alarmins to a greater extent than iHDM, active proteinases were not required for its adjuvant activity, as iHDM preferentially promoted Th2 responses in intestinal lymphoid tissues.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that ingestion of environmental dust may contribute to food allergy development and highlight the complex and context-dependent nature of the adjuvant activity of HDM.…”
